What is Pictorial Review: Challenges in Distinguishing Bilateral Metaphyseal Marrow Abnormalities on Magnetic Resonance Imaging about?

The paediatric metaphysis is afflicted by a wide range of pathological processes as it is the most metabolically active and well-vascularised part of the developing skeleton. This review focuses on metaphyseal marrow signal change detected with magnetic resonance imaging, which is most often occult on radiographs. When bilateral, these imaging appearances frequently present a diagnostic quandary. This review assists the radiologist to confidently dismiss physiological signal change and confidently work through the differential diagnosis. This is achieved by illustrating a practical method of classifying signal change into four categories: physiological red marrow, red marrow reconversion, marrow infiltration, and oedemalike marrow signal intensity. In doing so, various pathological entities are reviewed along with imaging pearls and next-step investigations.
